[Apologies for cross-posting] We are now also accepting papers describing ideas of applications! Please spread the word! Extended deadline: April 24th =============================================== Doing Good by Linking Entities, Developer's Challenge http://wole2013.eurecom.fr/challenge 2nd International Workshop on Web of Linked Entities (WoLE2013) In conjunction with the 22nd International World Wide Web Conference (WWW2013), Rio de Janeiro, 13 May 20132 =============================================== The WoLE2013 Challenge is offering prizes for the best applications that show the impact of the Web of Linked Entities on problems/solutions affecting the local community, e.g. detecting corruption, tracking criminality, facilitating access to education or health services, helping to search for the cure for neglected diseases, promoting citizen participation on the government, improving tourism-related services, etc. Although we have observed an explosion of the number of structured data sources shared on the "Web of Data", the majority of the available Web content is still unstructured or semi-structured -- e.g. encoded in (hyper-) textual documents. Web content (structured, unstructured and semi-structured) often makes references to other documents or to entities described in structured data sources (e.g. Linked Data). Moreover, structured data sources provide entity to entity interconnections, resulting in a Web of Linked Entities spanning structured and unstructured data. We believe that interconnecting and sharing explicit interconnections between documents and open data sources on the Web will increase the value of each data source and enable a number of innovative applications that leverage both the individual data sources and their interconnections. Submissions will be judged based on originality, potential impact and pertinence to the subject of the workshop. Note to prospective participants: if you run a website that has (potential) social impact, but you are not an expert on WoLE research/technologies, or if you are a technical person that needs ideas for applications with high potential for the region, we have prepared a team for assisting you with questions/answers at: http://groups.google.com/group/wole2013challenge PRIZE We will award up to 2 iPad2 to the best application(s).
